It was our pleasure to host the University of Buffalo's Biostatistics Department for a tour of the city this week. Many of our guests were international students so it was a good opportunity to show off our city to the world.
This is the second year UB has joined us for tours of Buffalo and we look forward to future trips aboard our double decker bus.
Thanks to Buffalo News reporter Dan Almasi for including our murder mystery performances in his recent Gusto article. The article is found here.
The article highlights how our murder mysteries stop at three different venues to sample Buffalo's interesting breweries, distilleries and taverns. Our Buffalo tours operate through October and the Murder Mysteries operate through September on every Friday and Saturday evening. Murder Mysteries tend to sell out, so please consider reserving tickets sooner rather than later.
Our Rotarian friends asked us to join the Amherst Bicentennial parade this week. Driving down Main street in Williamsville was a ton of fun. The Rotary club provided music, passengers and candy to toss to children who lined the streets.
The story of Buffalo comes alive when you take a Buffalo tour aboard the city's only double decker bus. Thanks to our Rotary friends for the invite to participate in Williamsville's Old Home Days festivities.
Thank you to the class Reunion tour we did for our friends at Canisius High School. We picked up the group at the historic campus of Canisius High, 1180 Delaware, and proceeded to tour downtown Buffalo, the Naval Park, the marina and so much more. Our double decker bus is a great way for groups to tour Buffalo and explore Buffalo attractions.
We are proud to announce a new collaboration with the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site to provide special tours this summer. Imagine an assassin’s bullet. An unexpected inauguration. A new age begins…right here in Buffalo, NY. This summer, you will have the opportunity to retrace those eight days in September 1901, from the time when President McKinley was shot at the Pan American Exposition through the swearing in of one of our nation’s most consequential presidents-Theodore Roosevelt.

Used the double decker bus to bring 60 disco dancers to iconic Buffalo venues including city hall, Canalside and Albright Knox. Lots of fun, maybe we will do it again.
We had a wonderful time and beautiful weather showing Buffalo to students from Clarence Center Elementary School. The tour included stops at Clarence Town Hall, Niagara Square, the downtown library and a ride on the Metro rail.
Thanks to Miss Gordon for arranging this event. I hope the students learned a lot.

We are proud to be partners with Explore and More Children's Museum in creating Buffalo's largest scavenger hunt. We created the clues and developed the smart phone based app that teams will use to participate in the event.
